I looked at my car again. Apparently, I can unlock the door with the mechanical key inside the key fob, but it will not start the car. But, I can insert the dead key fob into the indentation in the steering column to start the car. I can also unlock and start the car with my smart phone. I would recommend checking to see if there is an app for your car. That way, even if you lose the key fob, you can still operate the vehicle.
